Everything was perfect I felt so at peace eating with my mom, the ice cream was so so good (1 scoop)with the waffle, I ate the ham and cheese sandwich I thought it would be like those, ham and cheese between white bread, but it was NEXT level, the bread was so crunchy and tasty the crust was not hard but crunchy with ham and MELTED cheese, when I cut the sandwich it stretched, everything was perfect, I felt like I was in heaven. Then I tried the chocolate milk, it was creamy and sweetness at the perfect level. The service is good they were not rude at all, they were patient ( I feel like all service should be like this) and the most important part is: how clean the cafe was. Though it was small there is enough space for everyone and the furniture choice is so vintage style, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY the restroom, it's clean, absolutely spotless, they even put the toilet paper on the sink counter cause the place where your supposed to put it was rusty, they are so considerate. 5/5 definitely...
Read moreBarista Caffe is part of the Ideaology group. They have a handful places around the city including this cafe and coffee shop locate on the 3/F of the Citadines Building on Ashley Road in TST. Opening hours are 8am to 5.30pm (Mon-Fri), 11pm to 5.30pm (Sat) and closed on Sundays. You'll find a fair sized indoor seating area that is casual. You can do take-away as well.
Food menu is a fairly typical range of western dishes and desserts. They also do a nice range of coffee and non-coffee drinks, everything is reasonably priced and service is as expected. I recently popped in had their Caffe Banana, which is basically a foamy banana smoothie with milk and a nice bit of espresso. It was a good dessert style coffee.
In general, the baristas at the Ideaology places are pretty good. They prepare nice espresso and iced-coffee drinks which work well on hot summer days. They are worth popping in for a cup if you're nearby one of their places...
Read moreNot that easy to find Barista Cafe as it is on the 3rd floor and no signs on the street or anything to suggest where it is.
Once instead it's quite a relaxing place to be, modern and relatively cosy with nice furnishings.
Staff were ok as well with service provided.
Ordered waffles with cream and berries. The waffles were not as hot as I prefer but otherwise tasty. The banana coffee however, was disgusting. The cocoa topper was rank and the the rest of the drink didn't really taste like anything, coffee or banana. Would not recommend that drink at all which is disappointing considering it's a signature drink from them.
Their prices are also quite high so potentially not...
